Description

PTRH2 Human Recombinant fused with a 21 amino acid His tag at N-terminus produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 137 amino acids (64-179 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 14.9kDa. The PTRH2 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Product Specs

Introduction
Peptidyl-tRNA hydrolase 2, also known as PTRH2, is a mitochondrial protein that plays a role in apoptosis (programmed cell death). During apoptosis, PTRH2 is released from the mitochondria into the cytoplasm. Once in the cytoplasm, PTRH2 regulates two transcriptional regulators, TLE5 and TLE1, which promotes caspase-independent cell death. PTRH2 is thought to act on peptidyl-tRNAs that detach from the ribosome during protein synthesis.
Description
This product consists of the recombinant human PTRH2 protein, expressed in E. coli bacteria. A 21 amino acid His tag is fused to the N-terminus of the protein to facilitate purification. The resulting protein is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 137 amino acids (residues 64-179 of the full-length protein) with a molecular weight of 14.9 kDa. The PTRH2 protein is purified using proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance
Clear, colorless, and sterile-filtered solution.
Formulation
The PTRH2 protein is supplied in a solution containing 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0), 10% glycerol, and 1mM DTT at a concentration of 1 mg/ml.
Stability
For short-term storage (up to 4 weeks), the product can be stored at 4°C. For long-term storage, it is recommended to store the product frozen at -20°C. Adding a carrier protein such as 0.1% HSA or BSA is recommended for long-term storage. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing of the product.
Purity
The purity of the PTRH2 protein is greater than 95% as determined by SDS-PAGE analysis.
Synonyms
Peptidyl-tRNA hydrolase 2, mitochondrial, PTH 2, Bcl-2 inhibitor of transcription 1, PTRH2, BIT1, PTH2, CGI-147, FLJ32471, PTRH2.

Product Science Overview

Structure and Localization

PTRH2 is characterized by two main domains:

  1. N-terminal mitochondrial localization sequence: This sequence directs the protein to the mitochondria.
  2. UPF0099 domain: This domain is essential for its enzymatic activity.
Function

PTRH2 exhibits peptidyl-tRNA hydrolase activity, which involves the release of the peptidyl moiety from tRNA. This activity is vital for preventing the accumulation of dissociated peptidyl-tRNA, which could otherwise reduce the efficiency of translation .

Role in Cell Survival and Death

PTRH2 is involved in regulating cell survival and apoptosis:

  • Cell Survival: It promotes cell survival as part of an integrin-signaling pathway for cells attached to the extracellular matrix (ECM).
  • Apoptosis: In cells that have lost their attachment to the ECM, a process known as anoikis, PTRH2 promotes apoptosis. Upon loss of cell attachment, PTRH2 is phosphorylated, released from the mitochondria into the cytosol, and promotes caspase-independent apoptosis through interactions with transcriptional regulators .
Clinical Significance

Mutations in the PTRH2 gene have been associated with a rare autosomal recessive disorder known as Infantile Multisystem Neurologic, Endocrine, and Pancreatic Disease (IMNEPD). This disorder is characterized by:

  • Intellectual disability
  • Postnatal microcephaly
  • Progressive cerebellar atrophy
  • Hearing impairment
  • Polyneuropathy
  • Failure to thrive
  • Organ fibrosis with exocrine pancreas insufficiency .
Research and Applications

Due to its significant role in cellular processes and disease, PTRH2 is a subject of ongoing research. Understanding its mechanisms can provide insights into potential therapeutic targets for related disorders and conditions.
